It is very easy (trust me If I can do it, you can do it) Under Voicemail where you have comments you can send to someone calling in that says "in a meeting" "Out of the office" etc.... You need to delete those and the speaker issue will stop. </p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:e195b5cc-6087-4a9d-aedb-4f7bc1676f05] -->2012-03-11T22:05:29Z3 years, 2 weeks ago0Re: Epic only plays Voice Mail on speakerFirehawk_1066/people/Firehawk_1066noreply-buzz@sprint.com2012-03-11T14:38:59Z2012-03-11T14:38:59Z<!-- [DocumentBodyStart:f02d969d-1ecf-47a4-a574-e4813b16fbcb] --><div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>My Epic is also having the same issue.&nbsp; I tried KAYLANIK's suggestion and while it did seem to work at first it only lasted a day or two and now its back to only playing voicemail through the rear speaker.

Tell it to uninstall updates and it will go back to the previous version (the version before they added the ability to restore deleted voicemails and to be able to save them to sd card). See if the problem is fixed.
